McCain 2008
Conservatives to McCain: Visit ANWR "It's domestic energy, stupid!"
John McCain is stubbornly and foolishly sticking to his No ANWR drilling talking points (video here in case you missed it). McCain needs to do what he keeps pressing Barack Obama to do on Iraq (and rightly so): Get on the ground and talk to the people who know the terrain best. The calls for McCain to visit ANWR are mounting. See here and here. What are they waiting for? Public worry No. 1 is now oil, jobs and the economy, with the inflationary woes of the U.S. dollar right underneath. The candidate who can connect with these issues will win in November. But so far neither Barack Obama nor John McCain is dealing with the new political reality. In fact, it's all about oil right now. The price has doubled over the past year, while the economy has slumped. . The public wants more energy and (SET ITAL) more (END ITAL) fuel to cut high prices and spur economic growth. But the costly cap-and-trade plan would produce less fuel and less growth. It would only raise gas-pump prices while mounting a Gosplan-type taxing, spending and regulating program that would be the moral equivalent of Hillarycare on nationalized medicine. McCain has an opening here. Yet he, like Obama, would have voted for cap-and-trade, which went down to defeat in last week's Senate vote. And while McCain favors some offshore production and has been strong on nuclear development, he is against drilling in ANWR Alaska. We have to collectively change his opinion, contact your legislators. Tell them you're done with this no win game. "Open ANWR for Drilling" Read More

THE PRESIDENT: It's been my honor to welcome my friend, John McCain, as the nominee of the Republican Party. A while back I don't think many people would have thought that John McCain would be here at the White House as the nominee of the Republican Party -- except he knew he would be here, and so did his wife, Cindy.
John showed incredible courage and strength of character and perseverance in order to get to this moment. And that's exactly what we need in a President: somebody that can handle the tough decisions; somebody who won't flinch in the face of danger.
According to exit polls, voters calling themselves "very conservative" supported Romney in Florida by two to one, and McCain still won in a state described as a microcosm of America. McCain survived a scathing conservative talk-radio assault led by Rush Limbaugh. Romney's appeal to the right on immigration backfired, triggering Sen. Mel Martinez's endorsement of McCain and a five-to-one margin for him in the Cuban community.
A town hall meeting was on his schedule, with rank-and-file conservatives in the desert town of Mesa. McCain as the Republican nominee would need those "very conservative" voters. The senator did not disappoint, they saw projected a far more conciliatory image than the trash-talking maverick portrayed in the national media. Before the event he had endorsed teaching "intelligent design" alongside evolution in public schools, and he had expressed support for a rigid state ban on gay marriage that denies government benefits to any unmarried couple. After brief opening remarks, McCain took questions for more than two hours, referring to Reagan as "my hero," invoking the support of other conservatives on issues such as stem-cell research and immigration, and strenuously defending President Bush's Iraq policy.The Real McCain
Hillary Clinton has proved during the past few months that she is a fighter, that she is tenacious, and that she is in the race to win. There's just one problem. She's already lost. Finally Hillary calls it quits!
No matter how you define victory, Barack Hussein Obama holds an insurmountable lead in the race to earn the Democratic nomination. He leads in the one metric that matters most: the pledged delegates chosen directly by Democratic voters. But he also leads in the popular vote, the number of states won and money raised.
Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for president, opposes lifting the ban on offshore drilling and says that allowing exploration now wouldn't affect gasoline prices for at least five years.
I know as bloggers, that you have a pulse on everything happening in this great land of ours. However, just to keep you updated on the extreme liberal antics that are going on up here in Alaska. This inept governor Sarah Palin has a high approval from the un educated, sound bite crowd for terrorizing and taxing private industry, growing government. She has continued giving every special interest group just what they want or more. Sarah has created an atmosphere of hate and discontent in the state of Alaska between the people and the legislators. She continues with baseless accusations and directs negative media towards the Alaska House and Senate Members. She just recently tried to oust the Chairman of the Republican Party of Alaska. Side Note: The Lt Governor announced he was running against the Senior Republican Congressman. Sarah was voted in for being nothing more than a fresh face.
The fact that she has NO experience and NO creditibility was not considered in the debate. We are now reaping the consequences of electing someone quite incompetent to do this job. Note: Don't Blame Me- I Didn't Vote for Her. First time in my life, since 1980, that I did not vote for a Republican. Perhaps, to be hot to some a compliment, for Sarah it is her idenity. However, looks do fade, but your mind remains. But really, she has no content consistent, no judgement valid and no interest but her known. The only "hot" Sarah is, is a "HOT MESS". Sarah is a disaster! She is over her head in life, let alone in a national political position. Check Out the parody songs about Sarah. I can use some PR to save my nation from this fraud. Sherry♥

As a Republican women I'm committed to strengthening our Republican Party, empowering Republican women and creating a better future for our children and grandchildren. However, there are very few elected officials, conservatives who are willing to stand against populist and populism.
Now conservatives and Republicans are going to have to win back their party. They are going to have to break from those who have already broken from them. This will require courage, serious thinking and an ability to do what psychologists used to call letting go. This will be painful, but it's time. It's more than time.
